Doesn't look good for Alcaraz to pull this out.

Carlos just broke back on sheer will and arm. Astonishing ball-striking.

Seems to be the run of play in the final set, whoever can hold on will win, though that running fhand he did out of the court yesterday, has to be one of the shots of the year so far,

I know that Carlos resists the Nadal analogy, but he's got the same grit, no quit, and the same do-not-try-this-at-home.

Yes he does, he is special this young man and I have to pinch myself at times he is only 19 years old

OMG, Carlos deserves a purple heart for that hold. 5-4 Alcaraz.

The kid has No Boundaries at all!
He's going to lose it here, I think, with Norrie serving for it, but he has just solidified his legend. Fear struck into the hearts of everyone in the locker room.

OMG, poor Norrie was just seeing things! Been there playing for over 30 years! Luckily my imagination only ran wild 4 or 5 times! That ball was a line sweeper! Carlos gonna have to break back to extend the match into a TB! :astonished-face: :fearful-face:

What a match both players deserve huge applause it went down to the wire

Norrie d Alcaraz 57 64 75

NB I hope Alcaraz withdraws from Alcapulco
That match had a lot of great tennis, but it was a lot about grit.

Cam Norrie has only really been making his mark in the past few years and he's 27. I'm wondering if anyone knows why the late start?

It's over! They might look at shortening Carlito's schedule! I doubt he'll play Mexico!
Guaranteed he won't. Nor probably that exhibition in Las Vegas.

No idea but for a British player he can play on clay that is certain, though I cant stand his service motion lol!
